AppleTalk and file services for Macintosh
The AppleTalk network integration allows the storage server to share files and printers between your
server and any Apple Macintosh clients that are connected to your network. After installing Microsoft
Windows Services for Macintosh, the administrator can use the AppleTalk protocol to configure the
storage server to act as an AppleTalk server. The AppleTalk protocol is the communications protocol used
by clients running a Macintosh operating system. The Macintosh computers need only the Macintosh OS
software to function as clients; no additional software is required.
AppleTalk network integration simplifies administration by maintaining just one set of user accounts
instead of separate user accounts, for example, one on the Macintosh server and another on the
computer running Windows server software.

access to each share. Access can be granted or denied on the basis of client host name. Access
can also be granted or denied on the basis of client groups, where a client group contains one
or more client host names.
